Hydrogen peroxide and some rubber tyre crumb...I'll build one of them rockets in my shed then.

Addendum:

Opps, this clearly should be in the Bloodhound SSC thread.

Yeah wife understands it all as she went through it with her thyroid problems. She's the one who told me to go to the docs too.

I'm leaning more towards the counselling side of it as I've never really been able to talk about how all the scares and other problems have made me feel so I might be able to open up finally

Cheers for all the replies so far. Well apart from the happy jokey replies, this thread is about depression and you're lightening the mood, shame on you

One thing I definitely need to do is start up at the gym again. I'll be looking into it this week as I need to start doing some weights to get some blood flowing

Also regular dosage of vitamin C & D among other vitamins is good for depression. Alot of depressive symptoms can be related to a lack of nutrition. Healthy body leads to healthy mind and all that. Works for me anyway!!

Nice to see people on here are frank and open with each other about their problems. Nobody is perfect and we all have are own personal problems.

Its good to talk and a problem shared is a problem halved. The biggest thing I have learnt is not to bottle up your problems but seek help and advice from friends or professionals in difficult times.

I know we take the piss and have the banter alot on this forum which is why I joined, but if I know if I have any problems whether its emotional, life stresses and even mechanical problems etc I will always get help and support from you guys.

Keep your chin up folks  :wink:

Just start a 10week cycle on test-e and use that new found man anger to give the misses a good 10 weeks and channel the remainder at the gym.

On a serious note, I know what you mean, Ive started to become a grumpy old man at 23, I think whats the point of working hard, paying a mortgage etc..... This ended up having an effect on home life as I'd just would be miserable when I got home, I hate my job and I've never really tried to enjoy myself. Never saw a doctor about it, just dealt with it in my own way. I am still being somewhat grumpy now but not as bad, instead I've gone f*ck this and let myself go, booked a trip to Germany to see friends in osnabruck with the misses. Next year a few friends and a mechanic I have got to know through a recommendation on here are heading to the ring, followed by a hopefully trying to organize a small/short snowboarding trip at the end of next year as I've always wanted to do it along with the ring. But I do understand where you are coming from my sister this year had a cyst on her thyroid to also discover cancer their as well, but all has gone well.

Not sure what to recommend as everyones different, I found doing things I've always wanted to do and make time for myself is what I really needed, it gives life more of a goal rather than the usual work day grind with no point.

Sorry to hear wazzer. I can't imagine it's a good feeling and like many others here I can relate in some respects.

We have all had sh!t go on in our lives somewhat whether it be family related, friends, work or even ourselves.

I have had some serious crap happen in recent years that a select few know. Granted not as bad as cancer scares or lost family/friends but still, it's all stuff that you don't need.

My advice would be try and do things you enjoy, set yourself a goal of some shape or form and see it through. Currently mine is trying to complete Burnout Paradise before Halo 4 comes out but that's me...probably should go to the gym instead but f**k it.

You know from earlier responses that there are a bunch of great guys here, some being proper nutjobs really but we are all the same at the end of the day.

Just try staying positive.  :kiss:

i think most people go through some form of it at some point ,but like said all people deal wih it in different ways,i wouldnt admit it at the time but a few years ago i kinda lost the plot.Usual stuff money problems working all the hrs there is just to pay mortgage etc ,then the old man died after goin into hosp for something non related and pretty much broke the camels back ,wouldnt talk to mrs started drinkin most days etc etc,in the end left home (mrs and 3 kids),let my house go the lot ,at the time didnt think much of it as such ,but look back now and think i must have been nuts,luckily the mrs was there for me still no matter what ,and alls good again ,prob happiest been for a long time ,so things do get better mate
wow thats the most ive written on the forum haha
